ARBA

TW Version

This part of the survey will ask you about sex. Sex is a personal issue that can sometimes be sensitive or hard to talk about. This is especially true to those of us who are transgender because the bodies we have don’t always reflect who we are.

As transgender people, we do not all use the same words or names to talk about our body parts. This makes it hard for us to ask questions about sex that everyone who is participating in this study can relate to.

In this survey, we use the medical words that refer to your specific anatomy—words like penis, anus, and vagina. These are probably not the words you use. It is important for this research project that we use words that are clear so that everyone understands what question we are asking. We don’t want to disrespect you.

We will ask you about anal sex, vaginal sex, and oral sex.

Except where indicated, all questions about sex refer to sex you experienced because you wanted to, not because you were forced, coerced or otherwise made to have sex.

Remember your answers to these questions will be kept completely private. Please try your best to answer each question.

*************************ABOUT YOUR BODY*************************
